Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana
lawyer trouble?
I have paid my lawyer over 1500.00
to handle my divorce - I cant get him
to return a call; he didnt file
objections regarding not being
allowed to move out of parish
following our hearing officer
appointment and I asked him to; I
have explained that due to a job offer
I would like to move out of state
where I have family; a secure job; a
secure place to live etc etc and he
has done nothing!!! In june my
lease is up and I need to vacate -
section 8 list has a wating list of 1-
1/2 years and to top it off my soon to
be ex husband has been laid off and I
have collected a big 150.00 dollars of
the 213.00 court ordered child
support that he was ordered to pay
retro 2/6 - What can I do ? Should I
call the governor or the senator

Re: lawyer trouble?
You should call your lawyer one more time. If that fails you should call the Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) in Baton Rouge.
The Governor & Senator(s) have no authority over the practice of law. The State Supreme Court does and the ODC does their investigations.
